Chapter 238: Li Daoxuan, who finally converged, talked and laughed
The closed road, and then there is no way, and the chief of the joke and the road held a torch to look around the stone wall, and immediately saw it.
There's a secret door here.
The only way to get past here is to find the location of the mechanism.
He first looked at the stone walls on both sides of the secret door, but where there is a secret door, no matter how delicate the craftsman is, there will be traces left.
Otherwise, the mechanism would not have been activated.
After looking around twice to make sure the mechanism wasn't on the wall, he looked down at the ground again.
Sure enough, after just two glances, he noticed that the gap in one stone brick was obviously larger than the other gaps around it.
He crouched down and pressed it at first, without the slightest reaction.
Explaining that this was not a press-type mechanism, he pulled out a dagger from his waist, inserted it into the crack of the brick, and picked it hard, that is, the stone brick was picked open.
What was revealed was a gear that could be turned.
He looked around again, and after making sure there were no other mechanisms, he ...... A rope was tied to the gear, and then a few dozen steps back.
With a forceful pull, the gear turned, and the secret door was opened.
No wonder he is.
This is indeed a mechanism, in case the designer of this tomb is the heart black, this mechanism is not only not the opening mechanism of this secret door, but other assassination-style mechanism, once triggered, several dark arrows are shot around.
That's it.
Now that Brother Dao Xuan is not here, the only Shi Ji with combat effectiveness is still uncertain, so he can't talk and laugh carelessly.
After all, no matter how many means he has, and he comes down from the middle and ninth-rate worlds, he still has to be cowardly when he should be cowardly.
When he got closer, he put away the hemp rope and walked out of the secret door with a torch.
As soon as he walked out, his eyes suddenly opened up, no longer a narrow dark room, nor a cramped tomb, but an extremely wide empty cavern, no matter in front of him or when he looked up, he could not see the edge.
It's not even a cave anymore.
He held the torch and couldn't see anything else nearby, but behind him was an endless stone wall.
He could only try to look ahead to see if there was any other passage ahead.
The ground was also full of rocks, and he walked for about a few tens of meters, and he couldn't even see the stone wall behind him, and he didn't see anything else.
The torches illuminated only a small part of the place, and the rest was shrouded in darkness.
Tan Xiao realized that he couldn't go on like this, so he took out the compass from the bag behind his back, shook it a little, and determined the direction.
The place he had come from was the west, and he turned his head and tried to go north.
After walking for a while, the rocks are getting smaller.
There's a play!
After walking for about twenty or thirty meters, I finally saw the stone wall again within the range of the firelight.
After having a reference, Tan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh?"
"Isn't that right?!"
He found something strange under the stone wall, scattered pieces of wood, most of which had broken into pieces.
Of course, what really caught his eye and made him feel weird was that.
The wooden blocks of these rotten wood were all fresh, and all the cracks that broke were fresh, indicating that they had just been broken, and he tried to kick a few more pieces to look at them.
There are also no obvious marks between the wood and the ground, indicating that the pieces of wood have not only just been broken, but even just fallen.
Top...... Someone?
Or is it something else that caused the planks to fall from above?
Tan Xiao listened intently for a moment, and when he came here, he finally heard a trace of other voices...... The sound of water, like the sound of a waterfall.
But it's so far away that if you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear it really.
No, there was something else in between, the sound of scales rubbing against the stones!
Damn it!
It's those damn grave snakes again!
Even though he hadn't seen it yet, the conversation and laughter had already been confirmed, and he waved the torch in his hand for a while, and finally saw a ...... on the stone wall in front of him It can't be said to be a strip, it's a head!
A blood-scaled python, which is as thick as a person's waist, is slowly crawling from the top of this stone wall.
It swallowed snake letters as thick as a human finger, and its only one-eyed eye was also horizontal, and it was turning from side to side to look at Tan Xiao.
The old Taoist priest didn't say a word, grabbed it backwards and turned into realgar powder and pounced on himself.
He immediately turned around and ran.
He thought that he had used realgar powder so closely, and this blood python would not dare to catch up, but he still miscalculated in the end.
This bit of realgar powder seemed to arouse the ferocity of the blood python, and it leaned forward, and came down directly from the stone wall, making a series of sounds at the same time, and chased after the Taoist.
Tan Xiao also knows that there are two major escape rules when being chased by snakes.
One is to find a place to go uphill, because the snake is slow to go uphill and will not be able to catch up with people.
But there is no uphill place near here, this rule does not work, then the next one, when you are chased by a snake, you can't go straight, you have to take a curve.
But that's only for the little snake, which is a blood python that is about to catch up with a human in size, can it walk curves?
Before I can get up, I'm going to be caught up by this thing!
Talking and laughing can only follow the way he came, and want to return to the tomb as soon as possible.
The tomb is narrow, and the body of this blood python is so big that it can't be used at all, and only when it gets there, can it be possible for him to escape.
But when I came, I first went to the east, and then to the north, and I walked dozens of meters before and after, and I went back to the entrance of the cave here, at least a hundred meters.
Tan Xiao estimated that he was afraid that he had not yet walked to the entrance of the tomb alive, and he had already been caught up by this blood python.
In fact, it was exactly like this, there was a sudden tension behind the conversation and laughter, and he rolled to the side in a ghostly way.
And where he was just standing, the blood python's bloody mouth had already reached through.
If his reaction was a little slower, he would have been devoured by this blood python in one bite.
At least the head can be swallowed by it.
Tan Xiao, who fell to the ground, quickly got up, turned his head and ran, not daring to stop at all, he was also thinking about countermeasures, running like this is almost the same as chronic suicide.
Among the things that I carry with me, only realgar powder can deal with it.
But before I came, I didn't know that there were so many snakes here, and I didn't have much to prepare, even if I scattered all the snakes on my body, it would not be enough.
Of course, if he was given enough time to talk and laugh, he would still be able to let this blood python leave if he used his own blood, supplemented by male yellow powder.
But the problem now is that there is not so much time.
After running along the same road for a while, I saw the stone wall again with a smile, and now there is no road ahead, it is really difficult to top.
In a hurry, the sixth sense warned again, and the blood python caught up, and it was still behind him, and he might be about to succeed in one blow.
I didn't look at it when I talked and laughed, so I had to stick the torch behind me.
He could clearly feel that his torch was blocked, which meant that the torch had really stabbed into the mouth of the blood python.
He jumped to the side and turned to look.
The blood python's gaping mouth did bite the torch, and the burning torch shook its head wildly at the moment.
But it didn't have the slightest intention of letting go, it kept swallowing, and finally it was a mouthful.
I swallowed the torch in one gulp.
The last bit of light went out, and the surroundings were plunged into deathly darkness.
Tan Xiao took a few steps back, stumbled under his feet, and fell to the ground, his butt still stabbed by a sharp stone.
But none of this can withstand the chaos in his heart.
Because this time, he did feel the threat of death.
Just like when he traveled around the world in the middle of the nine streams, one step wrong was a catastrophe.
The same is true now.
Although this is a dream, and he is also a reincarnated person, the Evil Suppression Tower doesn't care about this.
When it's time to die, everyone has to die.
Xu is death is approaching, and Tan Xiao is even ready to use the broken tower heart to leave.
But at this moment, he seemed to hear a sound of breaking the sky, and then it was like a collision of gold and stone, and there was a crisp sound of "ding".
After that, it was like the sound of flesh splitting.
Something happened, and without saying a word, he crawled backwards, crawling on his hands and feet, just hoping to walk faster, but when he came, he suddenly felt as if he had been whipped his chest by a huge whip.
It's the tail of this blood python!
Tan Xiao was directly pumped out, and he fell to the ground with severe pain in his chest, hit the stone wall, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out, almost killing him.
But fortunately, he didn't die!
He struggled to get up, leaned his upper body against the stone wall, and a fire gradually appeared in front of him, and someone ran over with a torch.
But just as he tried to see who the man on the other side was, he found a right hand stretched out in front of him.
Someone, has arrived.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar face, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Brother Daoxuan, Xiaodao, I almost won't see you."
Li Daoxuan pulled up the conversation and laughed, and said bluntly: "They are all people with broken tower hearts, what are they pretending." ”
"Uh......"
The sensational words were unsuccessful, and the conversation and laughter were a little embarrassing, but by the light of the person behind him, he also saw that Li Daoxuan's body was covered with dust, and even many places were bruised, and there was faint blood oozing from it.
It seems that Li Daoxuan also suffered a lot in this tomb...... Tan Xiao looked at the man walking behind him again.
It's a woman, and she's beautiful.
"Are you...... The evil who followed Brother Dao Xuan? ”
"I'm human now, too!"
Zhou Yaya seems to care about her identity very much.
Li Daoxuan looked at the ground, looked at the blood python that he had just killed, since entering the tomb, this was not the biggest python he had encountered, but it was indeed the largest python he had ever killed.
If it hadn't been for the fact that this thing was attracted by the talk, he wouldn't have been able to sneak up so quickly.
It's just that the giant python that was chasing him on the pontoon bridge above seemed to have turned into a dragon, and Li Daoxuan obviously watched it fall down with it, but he didn't see it, and he didn't know why.
It's like...... Halfway through, the void vanished.
But how is this possible?
Even if it wasn't, its size would not be able to grasp the top of this stone wall.
"Brother Daoxuan, what are you...... What's going on? After a while, he felt a little better, and then asked curiously.
Immediately, the three of them found a slightly cleaner place and began to chat, telling each other's experiences.
When Li Daoxuan talked about seeing the giant python that looked like a dragon in the underground river after entering the cave, Tan Xiao immediately said that he had seen it too.
That snake is definitely an extremely difficult existence to deal with, and even Li Daoxuan may not be able to take it.
"Brother Daoxuan, you mean, there's a pontoon bridge up here? That's where you came from? ”
"Yes, the stone man you saw is a magic puppet, a means of the middle and ninth streams...... This ancient country is from the middle ninth stream, and I will tell you in a moment. ”
Li Daoxuan bowed his head and continued: "Fortunately, there are those iron rods to block it, and the speed at which the pontoon bridge falls is not fast. ”
"It's just that the python didn't fall, which I don't understand."
Zhou Yaya added: "What I suspect is that the giant python has grown legs, and when it fell, it grabbed the stone wall with its foot, so it didn't fall, but Li Daoxuan didn't believe it." ”
"What do you think, Daoist?" Zhou Yaya asked.
Tan Xiao first looked at the expressions of Li Daoxuan and Zhou Yaya, and then said: "Poor Dao thinks that what the two of you said makes sense. ”
After saying this, he immediately said: "Poor Dao guesses that the tomb guard snake should have a hint of miracle. ”
"Supernatural? What supernatural? Li Daoxuan didn't quite understand.
Tan Xiao said slowly: "Big or small." ”
"Big or small? What does the Taoist mean is that the snake can grow bigger or smaller on its own? ”
"Yes."
After Li Daoxuan heard what he said, he silently raised his head and raised his middle finger towards the endless darkness.
Needless to say, in this world where everyone is an ordinary person, this machine spirit is really disgusting.
Tan Xiao understood what Li Daoxuan meant.
Zhou Yaya was asking him what he was doing.
Li Daoxuan's face did not change, and his heart did not beat: "I'm praising this artifact spirit is awesome." ”
Although he can turn around and get over his addiction, he obviously has no other way now, and he can only continue to do so.
"What about you, Daoist? How did you come here alone. ”
After Li Daoxuan asked, Tan Xiao's face became a little ugly.
"Poor Dao didn't come alone, it came with me, it was a stone table."
"How many stones?"
"You and he got into a town?"
"Yes."
"And what about the others now?" Li Daoxuan was a little different, "At this level, he shouldn't have the ability of an immortal ghost, right?" ”
"I didn't ...... So something happened to him, but it's also to blame. ”
Immediately after that, Tan Xiao told the experience of the two of them along the way, as well as the secrets of the Lou Gu Kingdom that he knew.
After Li Daoxuan listened, he sighed in his heart at first that he was fortunate to meet the Taoist chief, otherwise he really didn't know about these things.
Then he sorted out what he said and laughed, and then he spoke.
"Judging from the experience of our two groups, it can basically be concluded that there must be someone else in this tomb, the tomb guard."
"They have all the information about the mechanism of this tomb, and they can even manipulate the puppets you said, and even these tomb snakes, they can be manipulated."
"So we want to have something to gain in this tomb...... The difficulty is still not small. ”
Tan Xiao then said: "If Poor Dao and Brother Dao Xuan can't join forces, then this third layer is estimated to be impossible for anyone to pass." ”
"You're going to put gold on your face." Zhou Yaya rolled her eyes.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Li Daoxuan clasped his palms, attracting the attention of the two.
"We came from the underground river over there, which means that the road is not over there, and you are coming from opposite us, so the road can only be in the middle of this open space."
Li Daoxuan said, turning his head to look at the unknown cave, "Look for it, there is always another way." ”
After talking and laughing, he said, "Actually, the road may be on the other side." ”
"Huh? How so? ”
Immediately after that, Tan Xiao said the fork with a snake path that he met when he came, "At that time, there was only one person in the poor road, and he didn't dare to venture into the snake road, so he went here to take a look." ”
"Now that Brother Dao Xuan is here, we can go over there and have a look."
"Okay."
Immediately, the three of them were here again, looking around along the stone wall, and finally found the hole where they had come at the beginning.
"Wait, poor Dao draw a talisman first...... Do you still have any realgar powder? ”
"Mine is wet, and the maid still has it."
Then right here, Tan Xiao first closed the secret door with a mechanism, and then took the blood of the three people supplemented by realgar powder, and drew two talismans for each of them.
"As soon as this one is posted on the chest and one on the back, even if it really encounters the giant python that is about to turn into a dragon, it will not dare to approach it at the first time."
"Let's go."
There is talk and laughter, and Li Daoxuan's behavior is even more taboo-free, just walking, as if he mentioned it casually.
"The Taoist is from Shanshui City outside?"
"Exactly." Talking and laughing, he said with a smile as he walked.
"Oh, I know, I'm the lord of Hand Witch City...... If the city is still there. ”
Li Daoxuan didn't know how long it had been since he came into this evil tower, and whether Qiu Wuming had kept his promise to help him protect Hand Witch City.
Tan Xiao smiled: "Brother Dao Xuan might as well ask the question at the beginning again." ”
Li Daoxuan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Dao Chang is from Shanshui City outside?" ”
"No, the poor road belongs to Hand Witch City."
Li Daoxuan immediately understood what he meant, this talk is long, after all, he is still his own person!
plus the existing square festivals outside, Bai Jun, and Zhou Su...... There are also talking and laughing and Zhou Yaya around him, big things can be done!
It's just that Fang Jie's strength is still a little different, even if he gets the inheritance, he doesn't know if his strength is strong.
The three of them walked quickly, and they returned to the fork in the road where they talked and laughed.
Looking at the extremely smooth tomb road on the opposite side that was rubbed by snake scales, even Li Daoxuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"This serpent...... How big it is, tsk. ”
After speaking, he wiped his right hand on the wrist of his left hand, and a wooden bead turned into a yellow calendar turned up and fell, and immediately a message appeared in Li Daoxuan's mind.
"Khit."
"It's the right path, go."
Talking and laughing, he looked at the string of beads a few more times, and muttered in his heart, it seems that this Li Daoxuan is still quite favored by this instrument spirit.
After all, this yellow calendar is a treasure, but whether it can be used in this third layer is still in the thought of that instrument spirit.
Walking through this new cemetery, there is no other feeling, the only feeling is a fishy smell.
It was almost a suffocating smell, and Li Daoxuan was forced to hold his breath for a while, otherwise he couldn't hold it, he couldn't hold it at all.
But fortunately, this tomb road is not long, only about 30 meters to the touch.
When he rushed out of the graveyard again, he even had a feeling.
Is this coming to ...... The main burial chamber? (End of chapter)
